Ap qan the other pilots waited for the hangar doors to open. He frantically searched each button until he got the ship to start. The repulsorlift came online, and the doors began to open. The Vuana ship fell off as the ships hull brushed it off the hangar doors. The Pilots immediately flew out of the ship and combat had begun, but Ap had just noticed soemthing, his ship was diffrent. His ship was significantly slower than the others, and had a thicker hull. "This isn't a fighter..." He then remembered hearing soemthing about this ship, that they might substitute escape pods with it. " I can't shoot with an escape pod!" He then felt the ship jerk as he was hit with a blast. He though as quickly as he could and thought about the other ship. " An overruned ship means more ships.." Ap felt the engines of the pod ignite and then blast him at an angle towards the planet. He toggled the controls but he couldn't control it. The ship entered the atmosphere, he saw many ships comming out of the overrunned ship, and then flames engulfed his pod. Luck was his only chance now...

When Ap woke up, he broke the door off and climbed out, He looked around and got out. He could hear voices...

"Griff," Joth'loel said turning around to face the new arrival, "I was just explaining our situation." Joth'loel repeated what he had just told the others before continuing.

"It's not safe to leave the planet yet because of the attack so we stay and wait for word from our home unit."

Just then the door opened again and an officer from the present base entered the room. "Protector Torscier," He said turning to Joth'loel. "You and your men should eaquip your armor. We're not asking you to fight but the base has come under attack. Precautions should be taken."

"Very well, thank you." Joth'loel answered before the man left. Then turning to his men, "Suit up men."

The idea of not helping bothered Ziltro. He couldn't just stand still and do anything. Ziltro overheard what the officer of the base just said. "Suit up for what?" he mumbled to himself. Ziltro thought that the Mandalorian armor he wore was sufficient enough. He could see only a few people that were with him back in space.

"on my way sir." Griff said turned and left the lounge he ran to the medbay grabbed his gear which was in one of the lockers, he got it on and then ran back to the lounge.
"my squad was killed in the crash, either i need my own squad or i join yours."

Sonny and his squad reluctantly suited up, the squad sighed and wondered if they would fare better this battle than in the last.

Vader's wife was very pregnant when she died 19 years ago. All of a sudden a 19 year old who is very strong in the force and has a distinct resembalance to him in his younger days rolls in from Vader's home planet with his old Master Obi-Wan (Who was the ONLY other person preset at the time his wife died. And to boot, the kid's last name is Skywalker.

So in answer to your question, he knew Luke was his son because his name is Darth Vader, and not Darth Retard.

Ap felt a little shaky as he walked on, he saw a crashed ship, and tracks. He heard a speeder and then he noticed, his legs were beginning to feel numb, he looked down and saw blood. His vision went blurry, and he collapsed

Sonny overheard Griff asking to be included in someone's squad. He turned. "Why don't you join up with us, only 5 of us survived."

All five looked embarassed
"Actually.....we're all that's left of the platoon."

"Alright men, weapons check. Everyone form up," Joth'loel ordered. It took a few seconds but when everyone was lined up Joth'loel walked by each one checking for injuries, damage in their armor, and how much ammo and grenades they each had left.

When Joth'loel was done he adressed the Company. "Okay, before we visit the weapons locker and armory for ammo, repairs, and re-arming I need to re-organize our splintered ranks." Joth'loel took a few pacing steps before continueing. "Considering all those we've lost, and more wounded, we don't even have enough men for a full platoon. So..." Joth'loel took a few more steps and stopped, then turned to face his men, "I'm going to put everyone in two squadrons with uneven numbers. Sonny," the Protector looked Sonny in the eyes, "You get command of the first squadron. Keep your four men and I'll give you some more. Griff," Joth'loel turned to Griff, "You can join Sonny's squad, I know you're both the same rank but Sonny has command so obey his orders." Joth'loel continued to divide his soldiers until two teams had been formed.

After they were finished another Thaldorian officer came into the room, he chatted with Joth'loel a moment mostly discussing how his wounded would be taken care of and what his company would be doing during the attack.

When they were finished Joth'loel turned back to his men, "Squad leaders take your men to get armed with ammo and any weapons that were lost in the battle, also new parts for damaged armor in the armory. I'm going to check up on our wounded and see if our orders have come in yet. Dismissed."

Joth'loel left his men to eaquip themselves, he had other buissness to attend. With that he left for the medical quarters.

Meanwhile alien landing parties had begun to descend into Thaldoria's atmosphere carring troops and land vehicles, an army bringing war to a system of peaceful worlds.

When Joth'loel arrived in the medical bay he was brought to a recent arrival, the Mandalorians of Thaldoria had found him fainted outside near the base. He didn't seem to even be a Mandalorian but the Thaldorians hoped that Joth'loel would know him since Joth'loel and his men were the only other outsiders from their base to have arrived.

Ap lay wounded in a hospital bed; his wounds had been tended to. Joth'loel stirred him, "Who are you?"

Sonny spoke to his men. "All right, grab any weapon you want and can use. Get as many grenedes as you can. We'll meet back here. "
Sonny went and got a subautomatic rifle with a scope, the four other members each got a weapon fitting their specialtyl, one a heavy automatic gun, one a sniper rifle, and the rest any weapon they could use well.

"any weapon eh?" Griff walked down the armory looking at all the weapons, he reached a rusty old locker at the back, he opened it, with some difficulty, and pulled out a automatic rifle, he saw other atachments.
"cool, a rifle that can chnage into what's this, a sniper rifle and a anti-armour rifle, sweet." griff put the extra parts into his pockets and held the rifle out and joined the squad.

Ziltro headed to the armory and looked around the various guns and rifles mounted on the wall. He walked over to a blaster rifle and picked it up. "This is better than my two pistols, for now." Ziltro said to himself as he stuffed battery packs for the blaster rifle as well as gernades into his belt pockets. Once Ziltro was done getting all the equipment that was necessary to him, he headed back to where he was before.

Ap groaned a little, and thought I must be back on the ship he opened his eyes, and his vision was blurry but beginning to focus. When he saw Joth'loel he would've catapulted out of the bed had his injuries not kept him from doing so. "You're...you're like me! How...how is that possible?" he looked around a little frightened, from spending time with more species that didn't even ressemble human form. He decided to try and calm down, and said as steadily as he could "I-I'm Officer Apolejeic Goeus of the battle ship Introsphere my last memory is seeing blood all over my body, and the air seems alot thicker. Where am I? Who are you?"

Griff marched to the battle and possibly his death with the rest of the squad. a bunch of memories came back to him, playing with his brother when they were kids, his many many girlfriends in advanced school, his 14th birthday when he got his first blaster pistol. Griff then thought to himself i will keep these memories alive, for i will not die today!

Although the other platoon members chatted freely amongst themselves, Sonny stayed quiet. Finally he spoke to Griff. "So who are you anyway?"

Vader's wife was very pregnant when she died 19 years ago. All of a sudden a 19 year old who is very strong in the force and has a distinct resembalance to him in his younger days rolls in from Vader's home planet with his old Master Obi-Wan (Who was the ONLY other person preset at the time his wife died. And to boot, the kid's last name is Skywalker.

So in answer to your question, he knew Luke was his son because his name is Darth Vader, and not Darth Retard.

As Ap catapulted out of the hospital bed the nurse tried to get him back in the bed, "Calm down sir, just relax," She said in a gentle voice.

Joth'loel listened to Ap's questions, "Your on the planet Thaldoria, we are the Mandalorians and Thaldoria is one of our worlds. I don't know how you ended up here but you sure picked a bad time. We're in the middle of being invaded by an unknown alien race far more advanced than we are. I must tend to my own wounded soldiers but you may direct all your questions to the doctor," Joth'loel motioned towards the doctor who stepped fowards to examine Ap. Joth'loel moved on to check up on his men.

Suddenly the lights in the base shut off and every room was pitched black, a rummble followed and the base shook violently. When the shaking and rummbling ceased the lights came back on. People all around started murmuring until an announcement was made over the intercom speakers.

"Attention all combat personel prepare for immediate combat, all non-combat personel go to the nearest bunker. This is a code red alert; the base is no longer safe; we are under attack."

Joth'loel ran towards the armory where his men were.

Meanwhile the base's defenses had been overcome and the Vuanna were about to bombard the base with a full assult along with all the Thaldorian military bases on nearly half the planet. The battle in the sky continued not looking good for the Mandalorians. Rienforcements were on their way but still hadn't arrived.

Ap looked to the doctor, "I'm not going to sit down during this attack, the scum nearly killed me, and I'm going to fight." He stood up, he was remarkably feeling better They're medical technology must be more advanced than I thought... Ap picked up his Cortosis armor and his cloths, he grabed his rifle and waited. He always were given orders, he wondered wether to stay in the building and defend to wounded, or go out into the lines. He was use to commanding his own men...but he didn't know these other people's customs...

Meanwhile

Up in the air the battle was intense, the fight seemed like it could go on forever, the vuana seemed almost every time able to match the ships attacks.
The captain yelled to the pilots," Lets aim all out guns at the main ship, let the fighters handle the fighters"
All the ships guns turned and fired at the Vuana attack ship, and the captian watched, and hoped.

Griff, heard yells fomr down the hall.
"sorry sir, but i'm going in to help those men" griff sai as he ran down the hall , he skidded aorund a corner and fired a flurry of shots at oncoming Vuana, there were so amny they packed the hallway and about 10 mandalorians had turned over tables and whatnot for cover, Griff rolled to one cover, then popped back and up nailded a few Vauna in the head. they were holding thier groud pretty well.

"Let's move men" Sonny left one man behind to explain to Joth where they went in case he took a count or something, he first grabbed a grenede belt on his way out, when he arrived to the room, he threw the belt and where the Vuana were coming in from, and yelled "EVERYONE DOWN" before it created a massive explosion in the next room, obliverating most of the Vuana coming into said room.

Vader's wife was very pregnant when she died 19 years ago.

Ziltro hid behind one of the turned tables for cover and loaded up his rifle. "I wonder how long this thing's going last..." he said to his comrades around him. He kneeled on his right knee and waited for any Vuanas to show up.

"At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge." - Darth Maul

Joth'loel arrived in the armory and listened to his trooper tell him about the fight in the next hallway. From the next doorway Joth'loel peered out at the gunfight in the hall.

"Sonny!" Joth'loel shouted trying to compete with the loud gunfire. Sonny didn't hear right away but a nearby soldier that did bumped the Squad leader's arm and pointed to Joth'loel standing in the doorway. Joth'loel waved for Sonny to come, when Sonny arrived Joth'loel leaned in and spoke loudly over the blasts of the nearby combat.

Joth'loel took his helmet off and, after Sonny did the same, leaned close to the other man's ear. "We need to pull out and leave this fight to the Thaldorians. I know they could probably use our help but another task awaits us. We need to escort our wonded to the bunker below and we'll defend there until rescue. More details will be given later, lets just pull out for now okay." Joth'loel backed away from Sonney and put his helmet back on then laid cover fire and gave the signal for a strategic retreate.

Ap stayed with teh wounded and decided to make due with his rifle, Pretty accurate, just not extremely powerful. He stood outside the door and saw a squad of men, along with Joth'loel. He got his gun ready "They don't run from just anything..." He got ready to aim.

Sonny gave the orders to the other members of the squad to carry the wounded who couldn't walk. But to Griff he ordered to help him provide cover fire for the retreat along with Joth. Once the Mandalorians were evacuated, Sonny and his squad sealed the door, which wouldn't stop the Vuana, but would slow them down, hopefully long enough for them to reach the bunker.
"Everyone, keep sealing every door we go through. Griff, go to the bunker, grab some grenedes and try setting traps".

So in answer to your question, he knew Luke was his son because his name is Darth Vader, and not Darth Retard.

Ziltro spoke out to Joth'loel as he ran walked behind him, "Sir...How long will it take for rescue to come?" In the back of Ziltro's mind, he probably knew the answer to his question. As he waited for Joth'loel to answer, he occassionally looked back, making sure he won't get any surprise attacks from Vuanas.

"At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge." - Darth Maul

"yes sir" Griff said he took off at incrediuble speed and came back with two larg pags of mines and whatnot.
"you guys keep going i'll set traps and seal the doors, i want everyone out before me, you got that!" Griff didn't wait for an answer, he just started laying mines all around the entrance to the first door, then sealed it. Griff waited for everyone to past through the second door before laying traps.

As Joth'loel's men pulled out more Thaldorian troops started arriving, "Come on men, this isn't our fight. We have other things to do." One by one the men ran through the armory and into the hallway leading to the med bay. "Griff, forget about the mines we don't have time let's go." Joth'loel started running towards the med bay.

"Officer Goeus, what are you doing?" Joth'loel asked when he saw Ap coming towards him with a weapon looking like he wated to help fight. "You should go to the bunker, don't you know the base is under attack?"

"Okay Goeus you can help us get these wounded men to the hangar for protection." Joth'loel entered the medical bay, the doctors and nurses had already begun gathering the wounded men, some other soldiers had arrived to help as well. Joth'loel spoke to the lead doctor and another Protector of the Thaldorian base. The bunkers were underground, in fact there were six bunkers in total each able to house and feed three hundred people with plenty of food to last several months. Joth'loel led his men down the corridors of the base towards the nearest bunker entrance.

The bunker entrance was through a wide and thick armored door and down a freight elevator some 300 feet.

As Joth'loel and his men rounded the last curve of the extensive hallway they saw and heard a battle up ahead. Blasters were being exchanged back and forth along the hallway up ahead as a group of Vuanna engaged the Thaldorians near the armored door of the Bunker's freight elevator.

Quickly the Protector positioned a portable turret at each side of the hallway to pin the Vuanna down. Joth'loel then turned to his squad leader, "Sonny I need your squad to get behind those Vuanna." Joth'loel grabbed Sonny by the shoulder, "Take that hallway," he said pointing with his other arm back to a parallel hallway to the one leading to the Bunker, "And cut in through the rooms until you get to the enemy position." He let his arm drop from Sonny's shoulder and plopped his helmet on, "Kill any Vuanna you find."

With that Joth'loel dismissed Sonny to do his duty and watched the exchange of blaster fire as he waited .

Sonny gave the order to hi ssquad to move out, and he led the way down the hallway. Finally he reached somewhere he heard blasters firing through the wall. Then suddenly he heard a huge explosion. He grinned beneath his helmet, the trap had worked, now the numbers of the Vuana were thinned. He cut through the wall, and immiediately shot a Vuana that was passing by. He immiediately ducked back into the hallway, as the rest of the vuana shot a barrage through the hole and then entered the room, shooting as he went in. "EVERYONE FIND SOME CCOVER"

Vader's wife was very pregnant when she died 19 years ago. All of a sudden a 19 year old who is very strong in the force and has a distinct resembalance to him in his younger days rolls in from Vader's home planet with his old Master Obi-Wan (Who was the ONLY other person preset at the time his wife died. And to boot, the kid's last name is Skywalker.

The Vuanna were pinned and being attacked on two fronts, now was the chance. Joth'loel motioned for his men to follow as he charged forward. Down the hall they rushed at the enemy position. Joth'loel tossed a grenade into the room that the Vuanna had holed up in, the explosion threw several wounded Vuanna into the hallway where they were picked off as soon as they managed to lift their scorched heads.

Inside the room the explosion had thrown some of the Vuanna onto others and knocked more over giving Sonny's team an advantage.

As Joth'loel reached the doorway a Vuanna jumped forwards and struck at the Mandalorian with a jagged blade. The blade scraped Joth'loel's chest plate but didn't do any damage, Joth'loel's own Deth'lou blade was in his hand in an instant and plunged into the Vuanna's neck; alien blood squirted from the wound leaving it's stain on Joth'loel's arm and shoulder pad.

Joth'loel pulled the blood soaked blade from his victim's neck and rolled the corpse away as his squad rushed past him and filled the room leaving it desolated and the floor carpeted in blood and corpses.

Griff rolled left and took cover, then popped out and fired at the Vuana.

after a bit of fighting, a grenade was tossed in and Griff then took that advantage and fired a flurry of shots into the smoke.
Griff still saw some Vauna there after the smoke cleared, but they were clearly winning.
"finally" Griff muttered to himself.

The rest of the squad, seeing that they were finally somehow managing to win a battle cheered, and soon the rest of the soldiers followed in that cheer. Meanwhile Sonny's squad also pressed the advantage, clearing out the room and working their way to Joth.

((And yes, I do keep typing Joth to save time))

Vader's wife was very pregnant when she died 19 years ago.

After the small battle, Ziltro gave a sign. Perhaps things turning out alright. Ziltro traveled with the group he was with, the rifle blaster still in his hand. Ziltro could hear some soilders boasting how they kill this Vuana and that. "This is just the beginning..." he thought to himself. He continued to walk towards the elevator.

"At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge." - Darth Maul

After the brief battle Joth'loel was surprised to find that only one of his men had been wounded, not a single dead. The attack had been extremely successful.

"Good work Sonny, everyone, you all did good. Let's get into this bunker now while we still can." Joth'loel posted a few men in various places to keep watch until they had gotten everyone in the elevator and then those men pulled back and into the elevator themselves. There was a small squad of Thaldorians that had been there before Joth'loel's men and some non combat personell were with them.

Once in the bunker they waited, all they could do was wait; this place was a new home to them now. Hopefully they wouldn't have to stay there long.

The bunker had three levels, the top level had lounge areas and a small control room, the second level had kitchens and storage areas, and the bottom level had sleeping quarters. From the Bunker's control room they could monitor the above hallway and control the elevator, no one from above could call the elevator or open the doors.

Meanwhile the battle continued on Thaldoria and in the stars above. The Mandalorian fleet had arrived and a massive battle was taking place. Vuanna ground armies had landed and were defeating the Thaldorians. Massive Vuanna ships had landed on Thaldoria and sent out tanks and troops all over Thaldoria, their invasion had it's clutches on the entire planet and years of fighting were sure to follow. War had come to the Mandalorians and threatened to stay for a very long time.
